To jog your reminiscence, Changan in Might launched a plant in Rayong, Thailand – its first outdoors China. Now, Automotive Information China studies that the plant’s first 500 automobiles are being exported to Europe, together with the Deepal S05 SUV. Deepal is one in every of Changan’s sub-brands.
That includes a physique store, paint store, closing meeting store in addition to a powertrain workshop (together with battery meeting), the 1.9 billion yuan (RM581 million) facility will initially have a manufacturing capability of 100,000 models yearly, with plans to extend the determine to 200,000 models by 2027.
Building of the ability – which can assemble Changan, Deepal and Avatar automobiles for Southeast Asian markets, Australia and New Zealand – started in November 2023 and took 556 days to finish. The primary automobile off the road – a Deepal S05 – was additionally Changan’s 28.59 millionth. Just like the Forthing Friday, Xpeng X9 and Xpeng P7+the S05 is on the market in EV and range-extended (REEV) variations.
Now, Deepal hasn’t launched in Malaysia but, however in November 2024 when Bermaz was introduced as distributorit was communicated that the S05 and S07 can be totally imported (CBU) from Thailand. At the moment, CBU EVs would go on to get pleasure from one other 13 months of freedom from import and excise duties.
Quite a bit has modified since, as you realize. It’s now 2026, which suggests CBU EVs (having been tax-free since Finances 2022) are once more topic to import and excise dutieswhich might make them uncompetitive in opposition to locally-assembled (CKD) EVs.
Then there’s the information that appeared only some days in the past – starting January 1, 2026, all new CBU EVs from new manufacturers which haven’t been beforehand permitted beneath any franchise AP firm should be priced RM250k and up (the RM100k ground stays for current manufacturers/fashions), and their motor(s) energy should be a minimum of 200 kW (272 PS). We hope Bermaz managed to get Deepal permitted in time. Be taught extra concerning the S05 right here – the EV model has lower than 272 PS.
